MS expects 18 more major viruses
MS budgeted $5,000,000 for rewards for information to catch virus writers. Each reward is $250,000. That means MS expects to pay 20 rewards. They have only announced awards for 2 existing viruses, so they are planning to have 18 more major viruses in the near future.

Given the past year, they are likely to be correct. It may be the first time MS correctly anticipated the use of technology.
